Justin Hayward - Voices In The Sky

[Maryloohoo2]

Sung with honesty, conviction, with some emotion, beautiful guitar playing

[kloudzjia]

3:30 to 3:57 so much passion, so much emotion, so beautiful it hurts...

[MrBirchmoor33]

Ive loved the Moody Blues from the beginning.at school.Im 58.They are the greatest band ever and this superlative performance by Justin proves it A guy with a guitar recreating the sound just blows me away

[texas4christ]

song and voice forever fabulous. i could enjoy hearing justin singing with david gilmour, another 60's singer that 40 years later is also capable of eliciting tears

[kloudzjia]

in my opinion this is the most beautiful rendition of Voices in the Sky. He only needs his guitar, his soul and...his voice. Lovely Justin...

[MyPaulHenry]

@kloudzjia Oh man why has he not done all of his songs solo? He must leave us with his talent. His guitar work is so extremely marvelous that I can't decide if his singing is better or worse than his picking. His talent is so rare.

[kloudzjia]

@MyPaulHenry totally agreed! he s fantastic...

[alamo11]

gotta be filmed in cornwall

[HHenkelmann]

Outstanding performance

[JustAFocus]

A beautiful song with beautiful lyrics.

[westrokker]

I met him and he signed my blue jays cd back in '92

[kloudzjia]

happy 65th birthday justin, you look awesome...and still quite a performer! God bless you. a fan since 1967. Thanks!

[ThymeBottle]

It's October 14th. Happy Birthday, dear Mr. Hayward!

[pootski123]

I LOVE JUSTIN!!! Big Moody Blues fan! Love the whole history!

[niknakatak]

i am listening to perfection here!

[eener66]

I stop by this video probably once a month. I just love the acoustic version of this. Plus JH looks good :)

[bbsb300]

Great upload Joyce, Thanks again, Cheers Billy xo;)

[JAHISRAEL]

@bbsb300

Funny you would say that.

3am I am playing this and the wife wakes up and asks me what I am doing.

Her name is Joyce........guess what my name is........I met her just after I saw the Moody Blues in 1986

[bbsb300]

@JAHISRAEL Hi I would guess your name is Israel ;) I can't see you being a Justin or Billy or a Joyce for that matter lol! What were you doing up at 3 am? Cheers Billy ;)

[JAHISRAEL]

@bbsb300

I'm Bill and my wife is Joyce

And I am up at 3am every night......and she is asleep >:D

[Popspicker]

Go and see him live in 2011

HE STILL SOUNDS LIKE THIS !

A true living legend

[pricla777]

Justin, I love you more than words can say!

[ElroyJetsn]

Thanks Justin for playing the magnificent Olsen on this one!!!

[makingsense53]

Wow. This really demonstrates what a beautiful instrument Justin Haywards voice is. With just his voice and an accoustic guitar this sounds like a symphony. God must be very pleased with Justin Hayward. Peace.

[spiritofshiloh]

Will you marry me Justin???

[Dhunatmik]

A voice, lyrics and music from a higher world....

Justin is a gift...

[chrisdastronomer]

the rock and roll hall of fame is nonsense, thats why it is in cleveland...as meaningless as rolling stone magazine's list of greatest songs or guitar players

[KayPeepers]

Christ , this is amazing. I'm 19 years old and I do not know of anyone under the age of 50 who was even heard of these guys. A damn shame they aren't in the rock and roll hall of fame, and yet jokes like Michael Jackson have been inducted... :(

[anns1961]

@KayPeepers bravo for being a young person who gets it!!!!!

[RAIN12FORD]

Brilliant clip, what a voice Justin has! If you live in America be sure to catch their 2011 tour.

[eener66]

@RAIN12FORD I will be catching it twice this year. Moorhead and Minneapols.

[Titan52berg]

Incredible! A solo performance of a memorable Moodies melody! Even without the flute and orchestrations for backing, Justin Hayward again works his vocal magic to give fans of the Moodies a fresh, new interpretation! Absolute brilliance!

[jhmbfc]

HOLY MOLEY!! !! That voice makes me weak in the knees. Incredible voice!!! I love you Justin,.

[pootski123]

Thank You, I Love This!!!!1

[a4skyraider]

Justin, a great singer, and a kind, good man!

[nivilmoon45]

ジャスティンヘイワード、スマートで、背が高くて、イケメン。僕­­の中で、世界一のソングライター。いつまでも、心の中に残り続­け­るでしょう。僕にとって、Mr.ES335はジャスティンだ­し、­１２弦アコギを最も使いこなしていたのもジャスティン。同­じ男と­して、彼のロマンティックで、やさしさと愛のある方向性­に共感せ­ずにいられません。ジャスティンヘイワード、数々のす­ばらしい曲­を、生み出し、聴かせてくれてありがとう！日本では­人気がいまい­ちだっただけど、それは日本人の感受性が劣ってい­るから。僕にと­っては、どのプログレバンドよりも、ムーディー­ブルースが最高で­す。これからも、命尽きるまでがんばってくだ­さい。遠く日本から­応援しています。

[pooldoc53]

I named my son after Justin Hayward. My son lived for only one day, but his name lives on!!!!! Thanks Justin.

[alittlepale]

To sum up the other 118 comments...WOW

[bobbyorrful]

It would be great to see the Moodies be inducted in the Rock n Roll HOF. Just to see Mike Pinder and Graeme Edge embraced would be worth it!!!

[cathode1990]

Joyce : You are not alone in your love and appreciation of this legendary band -Your videos are outstanding -- We would like to see more from you if any exist - This live cut from "In Search. Of "... is great-- I used to listen to their LPs at the university I went to- They had an area where you could listen[ with headphones] to the great LPs/bands of the time-- Thanks so much!!!

[abbyrose53]

Justin's voice and spirit are timeless...

[Babydoll6916]

Thank you so much MoodiesFan for the great videos. I have never been to a concert and these videos allow me to experience this amazing talent that I otherwise would have missed. You and public television have made me a dedicated Moodies fan!!

[jghunlimited]

Wow...

[harryrambler]

Justin. It's about time you released an 'unplugged acoustic' album of your tunes.

[eener66]

@harryrambler I have been hoping for that for years. Either solo or with the Moodies!!

[ThePigfloyd]

just awesome

[Pedy1968]

What a voice......Thank you so much!!!

[Liquadia]

Just love this song! I also sang it on my channel live lol have a listen if u dare

[justdeepblue]

Dear MoodiesFan - All these solo vids. you have shared are Wonderful - just can't tell you how much I love them. Really makes my day!

Thanks so, so much!

[DaveysMom]

So perfect a voice!

[Pmls1972]

Excelent, his voice continues good!

[littlebigbrain]

These film are **3££4% better than most of what passes for music.

[tealleaves]

patric1127 - Exactly !

[patric1127]

Justin creates a wall of sound with his voice and his guitar. Can't do better than that...Love this performance....

[rick12580]

Thanks Moodies Fan for all your great videos

[Thearabiannightstore]

Mee luve this song, make mee want to fly on my flying carpet, up high in sky way above waves and clouds.

[voidforpurpose]

Purity and perfection!

[Torq64]

Older is Better!!!

[deephorse]

Many of his songs sound good just as accoustic versions. Listen to "One Lonely Room" here on You Tube, or seek out "Nights in White Satin - Live At 2 Meter Sessies".

[dupontarc]

as great as the original was, there is truly something unique and special about him doing it solo...captive simplicity and rawness !!

[MinnesotaNice64]

I actually love this stripped down version so much more than the original. Simple and elegant

[Torq64]

Many times I hurt , Justin eased my soul . Thank you dear Lord for angels.

[gazzo45]

Justin Hayward singing an old Moodies track. Just how brilliant is this performance? Simply outstanding.

[MinnesotaNice64]

I am amazed that one man playing one guitar can make musical sounds that are so full that no other instruments are needed. How many can do that? This is a great video. thanks

[Torq64]

The world is a better place because of you.....

[4everfranco]

I'm 100% agree!!

[toolbox58]

there was time for just dreaming back then,in peace,early 70`s..

[Jusfriend]

I was haunted by the images of the older Justin and the younger Justin in this video. Justin was so beautiful back then. And he STILL is so beautiful now! I love Justin so! Thank you for this lovely clip!

Love, Jusfriend

[flitster5]

Yes Larry I totally agree!!

[LuvIzAhl]

What a fantastic talent (vocally and writing such life-affecting songs) this gentleman has displayed for decades.

[sunybandrick]

Just Beautiful! The song is great too!

[francoamerican111]

Without a doubt the Moody Blues belong in the R & R Hall of Fame. They must be a bunch of tone deaf people who decide that the Moodies don't belong there. The Moodies are one of the greatest groups ever. Most of the groups in the hall of fame wish they were half as good as the Moodies.

[starskymusic]

Not sure if i posted this before but have the original and listen to it on a classic dansette . reminds me so much of my childhood. love it

[patric1127]

Which chords is he playin'?

[drathbun]

E and B (B7 without the high E string)

[drathbun]

then G#m A (barre 5th) B (barre 7th)

[patric1127]

Justin alone should be a R&R HOF inductee, the Moodies, twelve years ago.

Love it.

Thanks Mucho!

[TuneFan]

Love the lyrics to Voices In The Sky. Great guitar by Justin Hayward.

[kleinebudde]

Great song and easy to play on guitar! Justin Hayward is my favorite guitar player, especially if you watch question, you see his awesome skills, in this video you see his awesome song writing skills :).

[toolbox58]

RRHOSHAME is just that! They dont recognize certain music unless the can pidgeonhole groups.

[toolbox58]

The Moodies made us stop and look at simple events and go "Ah" I never thought it could be sung about like that!

[francoamerican111]

This video is a good example of how talented Justin Hayward still is. Basically he is singing solo w/o any back up music or singers. He still sounds great. Today's singer wish they had half the talent of the Moody Blues. Yes these videos do make you feel younger and remind one of great times from the past when life was more simple. If the Moody Blues are not in the RRHOF then the hall of fame does not know what real talent is. They should be a shamed.

[JanSimmes]

I agree fully with you! I think he's one of the greatest artists ever. Greetings from Holland.

[reho2000]

comme vous avez raison ! après tout cela prouve qu' ILS SONT BIEN AU-DESSUS des élus du rrhof...

[flitster5]

NJFast- I agree, I just received the latest Rolling Stone Mag. With the top 100 best singers and guess what!! Hayward was not among the picks! He has the most beautiful and distinctive voice have ever heard,

[larry1955]

The rolling stone rag has never got it right

Justin is easily in the top 10 most distinctive voices of all time , maybe the top 5

The talent here is beyond belief

[flitster5]

Have you seen the new Visa commercial featuring Justins Tuesday Afternoon? Fantastic!!! (On You Tube)

[flitster5]

Justin you are melodic and wonderful, so talented, do you even know. Old soul

[toolbox58]

Life was slower then,and gave us time to romance about the events of life.

[Nebestfan]

WOW.

[honeystayforever]

....Justin My Dream....Justin Stay Forever....Timeless.....Eterna­l....Songs....Messages...And Stories.... To.... Us..... All....I Am Beguiled....Justin My Dream....Justin Stay Forever.....

[NJFastEddie]

How the heck are the Moody Blues not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame???? This is bullocks!!! These guys are what kids should be listening to today and perhaps we would see fewer acts of violence and more guitar players! Just my two cents...

[whisky2roxy]

Quite true...and where are Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull, MC5, Stooges, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Joy Division, etc. in the so-called RRHOF? And yet we now have "Madonna". Wow. I defy anyone to tell me they still listen to her shit. What a sad joke...

[JohnMan59]

Absolutely right.

God, I thank the stars above for older siblings. They said, "play this record" and I did. My life was never the same.

Poets with Guitars. PERIOD.

[jonruss56]

I agree with you NJfasteddie,I think it's a crying shame these guys aren't in there.Todays so called music is Rubbish !!!

[Scottmaster84]

when were these clips made? looks pretty new...

[francoamerican111]

Back in the late sixties and early seventies when I first started hearing of the Moody Blues and Justin Hayward in particular, I never realized how timeless and great a band they were and still are. Most "musician, rock bands & artists of today cannot hold a candle to this group in terms of talent and listenability. They are a great group.

[YoureMagneticInk]

I was 11. The album was fresh and I use to walk home from school playing Lost Chord on my "tape recorder". You had to hold it with care or it would slur. Did I say we walked 5 mi to school in heavy snows?

[benneale28]

Anyone know when and where this acoustic session was filmed? And preferably how I can get hold of it? lol :-)

[okkerseg]

It's from the DVD "an audience with Justin Hayward at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame".

Great DVD! :)

Peace, Gerda

[gailleggett]

how very nice!!!

[toolbox58]

Impeccable ability,so Melodic.

[kris242]

Justin Haywards voice just scremes sex! I'd soo go gay for him... sorry for images engraved in your innocent little minds...

[peterthorpe]

A wonderful talent. It's great to hear such a clear voice/message. Timeless.

[slqhracing]

Another super Justin acoustic solo. Can you name a more talented combo singer, songwriter, and guitarist??? Totally underrated song, with a special message. The electric version is great too (on their greatest hits album).

[yipmeg]

Thanks for posting this great MV ....

Lovely

[francoamerican111]

I read your remarks about Justin Hayward on YouTube. I agree with you that he still is a great musician, songwriter and singer. I am sixty-two years old, but I feel like a youngster again when i hear their music.

[toolbox58]

I DO! Spicy85

[cherrygummy]

Wonderful.  Thank you.

[Thefinalkefka]

Phenomenal.

[bbsb300]

Thanks Joyce for posting this wonderful song.:)

[MoodiesFan]

bbsb300, I'm glad to make a Moody Blues fan happy :)

[candleoflife]

Thank you very much MoodiesFan! What a spectacular performance of this old familiar favorite. I shall never grow tired of hearing and seeing this man sing with nothing more than an acoustic guitar in hand...

[breeeegs]

a very lovely song

[chrisg2478]

@MoodiesFan Great series! what DVD is it taken from? Will try to source.

[JohnnyCoolMusic]

???? I wanted the motorhead version but nice performance anyway :)

[PaiLung]

Great Instrumental of Voices in the Sky. One of my Favorite Moody Blues Songs ever.

[spicy85]

does anyone have a real clear Forever Autumn, my favorite Moody Blues Song.

[sterlingsilvr]

moodiesfan, once again thank you for an awesome video of the Moody Blues. You put out the best ones. This the first time I seen this one, another great job. Thanx, Deb

[MoodiesFan]

You are welcome sterlingsilvr.

[gizathecat]

What DVD is this from???? Where can I get it? Wonderful clip!

[janmueller3]

This is on the DVD "An Audience With Justin Hayward" which is partly an interview at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and part of it is several songs like this done at Bennett Studios. The only place I know you can get it is Moodymall.

[houleyman]

His playing his James Olsen custom made beauty. It's a $10,000 guitar. Very nice Justin!!!

[zenlad]

May God bless all those who keep the spirit in the message of The Moody Blues alive!...Thank you! zenlad

[janmueller3]

hoffinator1, what the heck is that supposed to mean? Maybe you need to crawl back into the cave with Blackhawkphil.

Now on to what I think of the video: great audio for a change. Video a little out of synch near the end, but all in all a beautiful song done by a beautiful man. I have this DVD as well but it's nice to be able to access it quickly here. Thank you MoodiesFan.

[MoodiesFan]

Your welcome janmueller3

[reneecalling]

Poetry in virtural motion. It's beautiful. Thank you.

[hoffinator1]

Justin is one of the best singers ever. Next to Bob Dylan.

[smrgeog]

Excellent, he is always good unplugged.

[emibronte]

Agree. And on this dvd, the Bennett studio work is especially poignant. It just blows me away. Masterful.

[TimHuguet]

amazing. What a genius. I love Hayward I love Hayward

[a1m1s1]

Don't even try to reply to people like Blackhawkphil as if they had as much as half a brain cell. Just ignore them or address them like the amoebas they are.

[phoebsab]

LOL, a1m1s1.

Don't beat about the bush, say what you really mean :-)

[gregory06]

I'd jump on that turnip truck in a sec!!!! And someone apparently needs a nap. Justin rules and this is one of his greatest solos....Blackhawkphil should go back to his favorite Weird Al site!

[prhuds00]

i have this dvd but this is so good i had to add it to my youtube home file

[rmandrums]

These are absolutely great videos. Let me know where I can get these.

[givenuponthisone]

Beautifully sung. Unbelievably better than on the album even!

[SeventhHanyou]

Fantastic song, one of their best. This band doesn't get the credit it deserves, nor does its lead singer.

[cruiserc57d]

Beautiful! Take a trip to a world where peace is possible!

[MoodiesFan]

Hey Blackhawkphil, if he isn't your cup of tea.. Go somewhere else. I put this up for Moody Blue fans!

[Blackhawkphil]

Yeah this isn't very good. And why would you want pictures of this ugly turniptruck salesman?

[phoebsab]

Blackhawkphil, I find it difficult to believe you are only slightly younger than me. Your maturity is astounding. Please do keep enlightening us with your supreme wisdom.

[Blackhawkphil]

Cheers. Thing is I came here as a non-fan, I guess that gives me a pretty unbiased stance. I'm sorry if I offended you though. I can be too upfront sometimes, I'm the first to admit.

[phoebsab]

A bit too deaf and blind as well by the looks of things.

[Blackhawkphil]

Hey, you must admit he's an ugly bastard. I had an epiphany though. If this guy makes you people feel good, then he has some value to him. And thats a great thing. Music is subjective, and if JH can make people feel good.. maybe he isn't such a bad un afterall.

[BluebirdintheSky]

Yes, dear.  Come back when you're sober.

[Blackhawkphil]

: (

[inwoodliver]

i hope we all look this good at 60!

[Blackhawkphil]

You're not an ambitious person are you?

[inwoodliver]

there's beauty through talent and from within, he was and is a handsome man, in and out, check earlier vidoes and the lyrics. he's lasted 40 plus yrs in the business and his classic has been a top ten hit 3 different times. how can a singer songwriter be a tuniptruck salesman. though i'm sure some of those ppl are or can be cute too. chill ok!?

[MoodiesFan]

I'm going to make a JH video of JH pictures. The song I'll be useing is Skimming Stones or any JH song will do. If any JH fan would like to see your pics on this video. message me we'll take. You will get a copy of the clip. :D

[MoodiesFan]

this clip is from an audience with Justin Hayward at the rock & roll hall of fame DVD.

[maggieclarke]

Nice and rich. Is this from "The Apartment"?

[MoodiesFan]

I would love to trade with other moody blue fans some of what I have for what you may have that I don't. If anybody is interested let me know, We can work something out. :D

[gregory06]

Agree, agree agree. I don't know where you get these wonderful videos, but, thank you so much for sharing them. I thought I had all things Moodys, but apparently not! And this is one of my faves, along with New Horizons!

[jeb81947]

got to agree aswell

[MoodiesFan]

I agree with grw777, beautiful, simply beautiful. Justin's music takes me to a wonderful place in my mind and that's a good thing. I call it Moody bliss. :)

[grw777]

beautiful, simply beautiful.
